Branden called me today from the trail. They needed a phone number. Cell service was terrible so I barely understood him. A little later he called back and I got to talk to both of them. I even talked to another guy that was walking with them. I forget his name. He said he is older than Michael so he is trying to take care of him and the "younger" ones. This guy told me he knows all about me from walking with Michael. He also said, "This man is really in love with you." That made me feel good. They are doing well. I could tell they were really working hard at hiking. Michael sent me a letter last week to tell me the weeks of hiking I plan to do are going to be much tougher than I can imagine. OMG
